Wait I just realized, is Mel's magic similar to Sylas' magic? The black rose witch (probably Leblanc, let's be honest) said Mel's magic was able to "mirror" others meanwhile Sylas also copies others magic. Prob no relation (since Mel's magic seems more celestial with all the gold n stuff) but still pretty neat

2024-11-29 10:17:35 +0000 UTCim talking literally vi being shocked that cait would arrest jinx when she woke up. what you said proves my point. the fact vi was going to arrest her means she knows jinx has done wrong yet she acts like cait is in the wrong now.

2024-11-28 00:11:23 +0000 UTCThey cut the whole scene, and all the cuts are hilariously bad. (WARNING this contains references to the Chinese cuts after this episode to so DO NOT WATCH before the final episode!!!!!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnO1J1zwVSQ&t=46s

2024-11-27 18:35:03 +0000 UTCThey don't like "the gays" I didn't see the censored version, but afaik the censors are all still CCP bureaucrats. So that's your quality level.

2024-11-27 02:58:08 +0000 UTCScene was already long enough imo.

2024-11-26 22:19:24 +0000 UTCLittle late for theories. Another reaction YouTuber did a watch-along with some producers and the VA for Maddie, and they were all too eager to reveal that the Black Rose was LeBlanc.

2024-11-26 20:01:59 +0000 UTCmy mind wonders back to something vi said to cait in season 1.... "you ever have prison food" well maybe she has a different opinion on prison food now lol.
marlanes
2024-11-26 18:59:52 +0000 UTCIt's not about what *we* want though is it? Vi has been kicked to the curb by basically everybody she loves multiple times at this point. She was already in a place where she gave up in act 2 before Jinx reached out. Every single time she's chased Jinx or tried to do the right thing it has ultimately backfired and she blames herself for all of it. At some point it becomes fair for her to cling to someone who actually wants her there.

2024-11-26 17:10:09 +0000 UTCYeah, but if they could manage it. it would flow soo much nicer together instead of, sister is in danger but first must smash
grim artifact
2024-11-26 16:49:28 +0000 UTCAs a filthy CaitVi shipper, I'm not mad about it. Just disappointed :'( But then again I could have watched a whole miniseries of just them being domestic af
Deep Red
2024-11-26 16:48:01 +0000 UTCI feel like it would’ve worked better if Vi got out of the cell somehow and they had the scene elsewhere, Caitlyn’s office for example. That may have been harder to do a smooth flow of events though.

2024-11-26 16:38:16 +0000 UTCSpecifically, since the show is tied to a game it affects the game’s rating as well. If the show got too mature of a rating then the game wouldn’t be able to be rated as PG13 equivalent anymore and they lose a massive chunk of their player base.

2024-11-26 16:30:23 +0000 UTCBtw if anyone hasn't seen it, the Chinese censorship of this episode is comical with how abrupt and hamfisted it is
Polarbear Bowl
2024-11-26 16:25:49 +0000 UTCIt feels like the I don't care is about more than JUST that however. It feels like in that moment she's saying "I don't care about anything other than you right now". And still, is Vi giving up on Jinx really the outcome we want? Without even a comfort talk about her sister going off on her own and abandoning her after all she tried to help her?
Silver Screen
2024-11-26 15:59:19 +0000 UTCThe "I don't care" is a response to Cait admitting that she saw someone (Maddie) while Vi was gone (Arc 2). Vi and Cait have no knowledge about anything Jinx does at this very moment. For all we know, Vi does exactly what her sister just told her to do - to be with Cait.
Edone
2024-11-26 15:49:45 +0000 UTCI mean, that is still pretty cryptic and worrying. And wouldn't Vi saying "I don't care" mean she does give up on Jinx? Is this the outcome we are supposed to want?
Silver Screen
2024-11-26 15:40:26 +0000 UTCyeah Morgana is the "good" of the two angle sisters

2024-11-26 15:31:32 +0000 UTCwas kinda expecting it with a French animation studio
nick
2024-11-26 15:29:45 +0000 UTCwe the audience know Jinx means to kill herself, Vi does not, all Jinx says is shes breaking the cycle, and runs away. All Vi knows is she tried to reach out, and Jinx ran away and tells her she deserves to be with Cait and to stop chasing after her.
DickinaBox
2024-11-26 15:28:48 +0000 UTCIt was shortened so that they could still keep the show under the pg laws of many countries. Otherwise they might not have been able to air it in some countries.
Clawenhime
2024-11-26 15:05:47 +0000 UTCI think the funniest current drama in the arcane fandom is that someone that worked on the vi and cait scene revealed that the romance and sex scene was actually supposed to be a decent bit longer but it got shortened for some reason . and it seems lots of people are mad about that shortening 😂

2024-11-26 14:38:09 +0000 UTCWas I expecting Cait/Vi sex? Yes. Was I expecting hardcore prison sex? Can’t say it was on my list of expectations.

2024-11-26 14:26:54 +0000 UTCThat’s not a weird writing choice. You can disagree with the character if you want but it makes complete sense for Vi (someone who was thrown in prison for years when she was literally 14) to not want her sister, whom she has seen change and save people, while at the same time knowing how she has suffered already without even being arrested, and come to the conclusion that she does not deserve that on top of everything else.
Chelly
2024-11-26 14:26:06 +0000 UTCLike, I dunno if it is the writing or the placement, but that sex scene between them has some REALLY awkward timing. "I don't care anymore about my sister killing herself, I'd rather bang you right now." Eh, that's so weird and feels out of character.
Silver Screen
2024-11-26 14:23:09 +0000 UTCIt was the wrong place to have the "I don't care". This is the point where Vi should be concerned about helping her sister, or at least stopping her. The moment to relax should be AFTER the immediate danger is resolved
Silver Screen
2024-11-26 14:22:00 +0000 UTCYes. That's not having a moral high ground at all, please look up what that term means cus u arent using it correctly. It's also not a wierd writing choice, it's completely in character. Vi doesn't give a shit abt the law, and she's asking the person who has the power to just let jinx free.

2024-11-26 13:00:09 +0000 UTCWould not be surprise me if that is why they could not go deeper. But still amazing show. Looking forward to their next project <3
Jasmin Jakobsen
2024-11-26 12:59:48 +0000 UTCI don't really know either I c a n definitely see how it would help alot bot on the other hand i can also seeing it hurting it instead, I really feel like the writers were kind of restricted while writing by the audience rating might be why certain parts are the way they are
grim artifact
2024-11-26 12:58:04 +0000 UTCI wonder if a mature rating would have served the show more. Not sure.
Jasmin Jakobsen
2024-11-26 12:56:22 +0000 UTCWhat a show love your reactions you are so real and funny
SleppyPanda
2024-11-26 12:53:43 +0000 UTCThanks I was worried I was the only one who thought that 😅 but there is alot of scenes with that problem all over the show it seems
grim artifact
2024-11-26 12:51:01 +0000 UTCI 100% get you. They where even gonna make the sexscene longer. But could not because of age rating of the show xD
Jasmin Jakobsen
2024-11-26 12:49:58 +0000 UTCI mean i get it from that perspective but to me at least it seems like the writers didn't really clarify that I mean i could have just not read deep enough into it just seemed unexplained if you know what I mean
grim artifact
2024-11-26 12:47:35 +0000 UTCMorgana is also a good person ^^
Jasmin Jakobsen
2024-11-26 12:47:16 +0000 UTCVi did try to arrest Jinx, she even had the same mortality that you are asking to see, but if you watch closely, you can see jinx is a "special case", always thinking gunhoe then tactical.
Joseph Zen-aku Kaga
2024-11-26 12:46:39 +0000 UTCIt feel weird for us because we saw what Jinx saw. So we know what she is intending. Vi does not. She just think she made a mistake again and feel defeated again.
Jasmin Jakobsen
2024-11-26 12:45:33 +0000 UTCNo i just think that if I had sister who said and looked like she was about to do something I'd be non stop anxious, but there after Kaitlyn opened the cell she just like completely forgets about jinx doesn't even ask about her it just seems like a weird scene
grim artifact
2024-11-26 12:44:50 +0000 UTCSo you are saying they shouldn't have sex before death
Joseph Zen-aku Kaga
2024-11-26 12:42:08 +0000 UTCBlack Rose is Leblanc. Morgana is Demacian.
Jasmin Jakobsen
2024-11-26 12:38:05 +0000 UTCsome of the writing choices are so weird. like, why does vi have a moral high ground when it comes to jinx? jinx literally killed people and is a terrorist. i get she had a change in her life, and she is my favorite character and i would like her to go free, but she still broke the law. and vi is unfairly asking a law upholding person to just look the other way because of her feewings.
mitchhamilton64
2024-11-26 12:36:30 +0000 UTCStill feel like it's kinda odd for the sex scene to be right there after what jinx said it just seems placed in the wrong spot
grim artifact
2024-11-26 12:35:55 +0000 UTCI have a feeling that the black rose is Morgana of L.O.L.
